We can all learn to respond with compassion and wisdom to the people around us who are affected by trauma.
Life stressors, relationship struggles, violence, abuse, grief, divorce and broken families leave a wake of pain and turmoil in our lives. People of all ages find themselves struggling to understand and heal from the pain they suffer because life has dealt them a blow.
Our March EQUIP webinar is for anyone and everyone who wants to learn more about this topic from the team of caring professionals at Citilookout.
